Says call no man father, and I don’t even need to go any further on that one.

The passage about not calling people “father” also says not to call them “teacher” or “master,” and in context, can be easily understood as a call to recognize that all authority comes from God. Not to mention that if Jesus meant it literally, St. Paul is guilty of breaking this rule: “For though you might have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers. Indeed, in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.” (1 Corinthians 4:15).

Feel free to disagree with his argument, but don’t ignore it. It doesn’t make you look good.
